Vintage Houseboat Club Burgee Flag

Celebrate mid-century boating culture with this authentic Vintage Houseboat Club Burgee Flag, produced by Beaver Flags. This vibrant pennant was designed for members of the Vintage Houseboat Club (VHC) and showcases bold nautical graphics that capture the spirit of classic American marina life.
 
The flag is constructed from durable marine-grade canvas and finished with reinforced cream binding. Across the center, a large blue “V” anchors the design, topped with a bright red VHC emblem. Below, a striking row of signal-flag–inspired graphics in yellow, red, blue, and black brings a colorful, maritime feel. The lower portion features the script text “Vintage Houseboat Club,” printed in elegant black lettering.
 
Authentic age-toning and gentle patina give this burgee genuine vintage character without compromising its structure. The left header includes two brass grommets and the original Beaver Flags label, confirming its U.S. manufacture.
 
This piece measures 19 inches long by 12.5 inches tall and comes securely attached to an 18-inch solid wood pole with glossy varnish and decorative finial. Ready to display, it makes a perfect addition to any coastal home, lake house, gallery wall, or collection of maritime memorabilia.
 
About the Club
Houseboat clubs were vibrant hubs of community from the 1950s through the 1980s, hosting regattas, weekend cruises, raft-ups, and marina gatherings. Burgees like this one served as identity markers, flown proudly from bow rails and mast poles to signal membership, camaraderie, and a love of life on the water. Produced by Beaver Flags, a respected American flagmaker known for durable marine pennants, this example is both collectible and beautifully crafted.
